D’CEM awards CEO Marks 21st wedding anniversary

The Publisher of Debby Classique Magazine and Chief Executive Officer of D’CEM Awards, Dr. Debby Goodnews Silas, has marked her 21st wedding anniversary with her husband, Buchi Silas, in a memorable dinner party at their home in the United States.

A celebrated actress and movie producer, she seized the November 20, 2024, occasion to reflect on the secrets to a lasting and fulfilling marriage, encouraging couples to honour their milestones, no matter how small.

“Marriage is a beautiful journey, and every milestone deserves to be celebrated. Whether it’s five, 10, 15 or 40 years, take time to acknowledge the love and commitment you share. Celebrate your union, renew your vows, and refuel the love that brought you together. Marriage is sacred, and even in a world where it is often under attack, we can stand as examples of hope, commitment, and joy.”

Known for her tireless dedication to empowering individuals and promoting family values, Silas emphasised the importance of prioritising faith, mutual respect, and strong mentorship in marriage.

She advised couples to put God first, follow His commandments for marriage and resists the temptation to create personal rules that deviate from divine principles.
“Marriage is a sacred journey, and when couples centre their union on God, they build a solid foundation for a lasting relationship,” Debby stated. “Love God, obey His commands, and surround yourself with mature, God-loving mentors who can guide and inspire you.

These are the cornerstones of a successful marriage.”

She is a multifaceted personality who has made significant contributions to the fashion, entertainment, and media industries.

As the CEO of D’CEM Awards and publisher of renowned magazines such as Debby Classique Magazine, Dee Legend Magazine, Dews  Magazine, and CityMag, she has consistently used her platforms to put Africans, Africa and its culture to global recognition, to celebrate excellence and inspire countless individuals.

Her 21 years of marriage, celebrated with close friends, family, and notable personalities, stand as a testament to her commitment to both personal and professional fulfillment.

The couple’s vow renewal ceremony during their anniversary celebration served as a powerful symbol of their enduring love and their mission to inspire others.

Her life and work exemplify the balance of personal happiness and professional success. From empowering young designers in the fashion industry to uplifting families through her motivational speaking, she has demonstrated that strong family values can coexist with ambitious career goals.

Her celebration also highlighted the importance of community, with guests praising the couple’s unwavering commitment to each other and their influence on promoting the sanctity of marriage.
